@fetzert shouldn't we understand how came that we gave up our basic rights?
Spent 3 hours gambling with #peertube installation. I wish it would be much simpler than this.
The entire success of #fediverse relies on simplicity of maintaining it.
I lost this battle for today.
Over complicated procedure with strange and vague errors about OAUTH (which I don't even want to use) killed my intent for now.
If we want success it should be just 'docker run'.

Are you interested in distributed systems, how Mastodon federation really works, and related implications for testing & operations? Do yourself a favor & read @nova’s excellent writeup of experiments with hachyderm.wtf. https://medium.com/@kris-nova/experimenting-with-federation-and-migrating-accounts-eae61a688c3c

@rosnovsky Don't you feel guilty?
@rngesus_wept Obviously, it is not

This mastodon fediverse offers a lot of interesting features for refugees from the bird app, but the real question is: why is #MartinScorsese’s #Goncharov (1973) not trending here yet?
@racebannon Do you think that software recognize queer kinky people and react differently?

Exploring Mastodon: volunteer-run instances are great, but require more work from those volunteers than most people realize

@scottjshapiro Now when you got it, do you think it was worth it to put the world into prison for two years?
@taz email client sounds a bit 1990-ish ?

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.
@digital_carver there is a good how-to how to setup it https://docs.joinbookwyrm.com/install-prod.html
but I didn't find time to follow it yet.
Would you like to? To check which side is faulty ?
@digital_carver Yeah, it's simple to describe.
- Half of the time I get 504 Gateway Timeout.
- I don't see posts about books on another activity pub servers
- Sometimes I can't post review or import book with no reason.
That's I call unusable.
The idea of bookwyrm software is pretty good.
Something focused on books is something I definitely like to have in my toolbox.
Unfortunately, two days of playing with https://bookwyrm.social/ made a very negative impression on me.
I have no idea are those problems just instance related, or soft related, but it's pretty unusable.
@mchonedev @neurobongo isn't it just perl (deep inside)

Years ago, Pew Research Center identified 6 types of Twitter conversation networks. How many are common on Mastodon?
Definitely #2 (unified, tight networks), maybe #3 (fragmented networks united by hashtags on popular topics).
